The Ministry of State Security warns of the risks of "word-based scams": Claims of "getting rich quick by hoarding words" are suspected of being illegal financial activities and could endanger national economic security.

An article published on the official WeChat account of the Department of Homeland Security points out that "word-based scams" are emerging one after another, especially those involving "getting rich quick by hoarding words" and "profiting from over-the-counter trading," which are suspected of being illegal financial activities. These scams could be exploited by foreign intelligence agencies to endanger national economic security. While embracing and utilizing new technologies and applications, it is crucial to guard against risks and ensure security, including risks of data leaks and hijacking, forgery and tampering, and fraud traps. In the face of the word-based craze, it is essential to view its value rationally while paying attention to information security and privacy, raising awareness of security precautions, and understanding and using words wisely.
